Samsung Electronics has released the final version of the quarterly report on the work in the fourth quarter 2016, but warned about the presence of political risks that could have a negative impact on the further development of the company. Recall formal director of Samsung, Lee Jae-yong 48-year-old son of Samsung founder, accused the prosecutor's office in an indirect bribe to the President of South Korea, Park Geun-hye . The Court did not find a reason for the arrest of Lee Jae-yong, but other solutions can be adopted in the future.
The investigation against the President of South Korea strangely coincided with the restoration in 2015, the friendly relations with China and the establishment of a free trade zone between China and South Korea.
